Skimender RP360 Base Repair Pistol (230 Volt) AU/NZ

Product Overview

This is the Australian version of the ever popular RP360. 230 volts with an Australian three-prong plug. Tuners down under have requested this tool for years, we have finally managed to stock it!

The RP360 is an excellent shop-quality repair gun capable of producing extremely high quality results. Light pressure on the tip lays down a thin layer of p-tex that quickly fills gouges and is a breeze to remove. It will fill large gouges with ease and does a great job on lighter damage as well. The gun creates an exceptional bond due to a special tip that contains its own heating element, separate from the element within the body. We highly recommend the RP360 if you can swing the cost!

Its advantages are speed, convenience and superior repair strength.

The RP360 uses 11mm P-Tex sticks creating repairs superior to those of drip-repair candles, both in durability and longevity.

The pistol comes to a working temperature of 530°F in approximately 5 min.

The reach-adjustable trigger is very light so it takes very little pressure to extrude an adequate amount of material.

Includes a magnetic bench stand that holds the pistol upright while not in use, if you don't have a metal bench top, no problem, a metal plate is included.

Nice long power cord.

User Tips for RP360

It is recommended that the user works away from themselves, using the arrow on the front of the tip to guide the tool along the repair.

The front of the head (where the arrow is) should remain approximately 1-2mm above the base, the rear should float lightly on the extruded material.

This helps to spread the base material to the adjacent base.

Most gouges are filled in just one pass.

It is important to keep the head moving at all times, a stationary head can damage the base.

Allow the repair to cool, then use a surform followed by a steel scraper to reduce and smooth the repair.

Be sure to work with a sharp metal scraper, use a scraper burnisher, you will not regret it!

Be sure to work in a well ventilated space and/or use a respirator when P-Texing.
